Clarksville, TN – Beginning with the Spring 2013 semester, students at Austin Peay State University will be able to earn their degrees faster so they can seek employment sooner after graduation.

That’s because APSU has launched the new Three-Year Bachelor’s Degree, as well as the 3+1 Bachelor’s to Master’s program.

“At Austin Peay we are committed to finding ways to help our students successfully complete their degrees,” Dr. Tristan Denley, provost and vice president of academic affairs, said. “Sometimes that means creating new pathways to success. These dozen degree pathways will provide accelerated academic tracks for those wishing to expedite their education. We are also ever watchful of the cost of higher education. The total tuition cost to follow each of these new paths is also less than following a path that takes 4 or more years.”

Students can begin any of these accelerated degree programs in the Spring 2013 semester.

The 3+1 Bachelor’s to Master’s can be earned in one of four academic fields: communication arts, corporate communication, public relations and business.
